an experiment consists of flipping a fair coin 4 times. What is the probability of obtaining at least one head?

1 answer:

7 0

$\mathbb P(X\ge1)=1-\mathbb P(X=0)$

The probability of getting 0 heads in 4 tosses (or equivalently, 4 tails) is $\dfrac1{2^4}=\dfrac1{16}$ .

So the desired probability is

$1-\dfrac1{16}=\dfrac{15}{16}$

We are given with
P(pop quiz) = 60%
P(not do homework) = 85%

And the condition that
P (pop quiz and do homework) > 5%

So,
P (pop quiz) x P (do homework)
P (pop quiz) x ( 1 - P (not do homework) )
60% x ( 1 - 85%)

The result is greater than five percent so he will not do his homework.

Delvig [45]

Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5
